Don't be fooled by many teachers shouting about a raging bull market every day,
when this round of the bull market ends,
many will suffer losses that make it impossible to re-enter the market.
The secondary market operation difficulty of this round of the bull market is
epic,
both medium-long term and short-term trading are very difficult.
If one day liquidity is withdrawn on a large scale,
it may be even more intense than 312, 413, and 519,
this is aimed at uprooting the retail investors entirely.
So:
1. Don't use leverage
2. Don't go all in
3. Always use stop-loss
4. Don't get carried away
5. If there are opportunities to make money later, don't be greedy, withdraw in batches
6. Don't blindly trust teachers; they may be losing more than you. Maintain your own judgment and use the advice of others or experts as supplementary reference.
7. The money you invest shouldn't affect your life; the legendary selling of houses or assets to enter the market with tenfold or hundredfold returns is just a scam to fool retail investors.
8. It’s not that you can't start investing now; it's about maintaining a clear-headed investment approach, lowering expectations for this round of the bull market, which may allow you to make some profits and exit, rather than being deeply trapped and regretting every day.
